Quiet Years

Famous quotes containing the words quiet and/or years:

“A quiet well-behaved boy is likely to be both frightened and ambitious.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“I shall die as my fathers died, and sleep as they sleep; even so.
For the glass of the years is brittle wherein we gaze for a span;
A little soul for a little bears up this corpse which is man.
So long I endure, no longer; and laugh not again, neither weep.
For there is no God found stronger than death; and death is a sleep.”
—A.C. (Algernon Charles)
